ABR 3000
Rubber Abrasion Tester
The MonTech ABR 3000 Rubber Abrasion Tester quickly determines abrasion loss and the abrasion resistance index for elastomeric materials.
The ABR 3000 abrasion tester is the simplest and safest way to determine the abrasion resistance of rubber, or frictional loss of any elastomer over a predefined distance. The rubber abrasion test is one of the most important and widely used tests for simulating a rubber product’s abrasive exposure in its end environment. Fixed into a quick clamp sample holder, the test specimen is precisely guided across the rotational drum. Upon test completion, sample weight is taken to compare the loss factor.
